White Fish w/ Black Bean Garlic and Ginger sauce Paired with Great Frogs ‘Share The Love’ Rosé’.

Black bean sauce is made from fermented black beans, Which make them wonderfully deep rich in flavor with a tanginess. Adding garlic and fresh ginger add to the sauces lively flavor. This entree uses white fish, preferably with little or no bones. Black bean sauce is very versatile, working wonderfully with chicken and vegetables alone. Pairing this entrée with Great Frogs  Share The Love Rosé is a lovely compliment. A little sweet with the tangy sauce. 

 Enjoy!
